King Mohammed visits Rabat university hospital

Morocco's King Mohammed VI visited on Friday afternoon in Rabat the maternity and children university hospitals and handed the two facilities a scanner donated by the Mohammed V solidarity Foundation.

The machine will help conduct irradiation hazards-free medical examinations on pregnant women and detect all types of pathologies, including tumors.

At the pediatrics hospital, the king visited various wards where physicians gave him explanations before the king handed out presents to children admitted there.

At the maternity hospital, the king visited the delivery room which was revamped and newly-equipped for a total cost of 2.5 million DH (US $ 227,000) totally financed by the hospital own resources.

The king's visit to the Rabat university hospital is part of the third anti-poverty solidarity campaign launched Wednesday by the Mohammed V solidarity fund.
